Artwork Description

The flooded Yarra River in Melbourne Victoria provided a landscape rich with evocative images. Reflected lines and tones evoke a dreamlike quality. The dense tangled branches and bush seem to grow out of the still water, whilst shadows create another level to the story. This work was selected from 1600 entrants as one of the 60 finalists in the NEAP 2023 prize.

I am an oil painter in love with Australian light and landscapes. Living on Awabakal land, I respect and acknowledge the Traditional Owners of this land. I exhibit in Newcastle, Sydney and regional NSW. The work is gestural and executed with a range of mark making tools to create impasto techniques of the shapes, tones and colours unique to Australia. Often sought for their rich texture and patterned surfaces, many of the works present a rich, varied and bold colour scheme that punch well above their weight.
